But it's like every year the craft has grown and I think the popularity is due to the fabric choices we have today. When I first started I thought I had to use those tiny little prints and colors that were muted. Today those have almost been eradicated from my stash. We have a plethora of styles, colors, and quilt patterns that appeal to almost every person - quilter or not. And yes I very much agree that Utube, Internet, and many other social medias have been a tremendous boost to quilting.
